I agree especially with little girls who are too young to fully understand the sexual tones. For older girls, there is a fine line between your “right” to wear whatever you want and another person’s “right” to see/judge you a certain way. Our society complains about how little girls are sexualized but then does nothing to stop it. And you are right, the parents are too blame. If they weren’t buying the clothes, there wouldn’t be a market for them.

I know what you mean Mocha Dad. I posted about this very same thing last year on The Real Princess Zaria and Mommy Blog. My daughter has outgrown most of the kid costumes(I guess they run small) so we have to shop in the teenage/women section. Last year she was a nurse. Nurse Betty I guess. I had to alter her $30 outfit because it was too revealing. It makes you want to go back old school when parents made costumes. Who want to be a ghost? You got any old sheets and scissors? LOL!

Great post! I agree with you 100%! My daughters are 14 & 16 and they will never walk out my house looking like streetwalkers. Honestly, they wouldn’t wear that stuff by choice because the first thing they say when we go shopping for any garment (Halloween or not) is “Would dad approve of this?” Dads can make a great impression on wardrobe choices.

On another note *ahem* wives can benefit from one of those streetwalker costumes…just sayin’

This is a constant struggle. I have four girls (11,9,7,7) and once they outgrow the baby/toddler section it goes straight to pieces (purely from a clothing perspective!). The balance between letting them express themselves and maintaining their modesty is tough. Fortunately, my girls seem to “get it.” I’m curious to see how it goes in another couple years.

I hate to say it but youg girls dressing like that leads to statutory rape. They dress too old for their age, then get that attention from grown men. Then they find out they like it, one thing leasd to another. I think it’s sad. Like Janet said (a long time ago) “that’s the state of the world today”.

…and another thing that shocked me, 1 day in Target; THONGS & BOYSHORTS for little girls. I was floored & had to leave the section.

I am right there with you on this topic! I have a teenager who has been through two homecoming dances and each time there is at least one girl who is wearing a highly inappropriate dress.

Last year there was a 14 year old in a dress so low cut that I’m not sure I would be completely comfortable in it. This year a 17 year old was wearing one that was cut too low in the front, had a slit entirely too high and was open on both sides so low that you had to wonder if she was able to wear underwear. Her mom thought it was the most beautiful dress that she had seen and everyone else that sees my pictures makes a derogatory comment. If ours had come home with that dress, her dad and I both would have told her to take it back!
